Behind the scenes of Cortina’s trailer-park Olympic Village: 400 mobile homes in an Alpine valley
The village consists of 377 mobile homes housing up to 1,400 athletes with simple rooms and shared facilities; units will be reused after the Games to minimize environmental impact.
- On Monday, Nov. 24, 2025, the Associated Press toured a temporary trailer-park style Athletes Village housing up to 1,400 athletes and team members in 377 rented mobile homes near Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
- Organizers of the Milan‑Cortina Games said the temporary Village was created to provide athlete lodging for geographically dispersed venues and will be removed to avoid permanent construction.
- Living quarters feature two rooms per trailer about 18 square meters each, with one larger for Paralympians and individualized electric heating controls; larger buildings use a natural‑gas thermal plant and air‑handling units.
- Costs and planned reuse show the Village cost 38 million euros , while trees cut to set up the site drew protests from climate activists though organizers said many were dead.
- Some countries, however, have chosen alternatives such as hotels, while most national teams including the U.S., Germany and host Italy use the Village's common areas for the Paralympics and Milan‑Cortina Games logistics.
